Contemporary circus meets ancient myth and folklore in the Cabiri’s 13th annual Halloween production entitled “Devil in the Deep Blue Sea” to be presented October 17 through November 2 at their studio Arcadia in the Ballard brewery district. From sirens caterwauling in the sails to the murky depths where the rusalka awaits to tangle you in her hair, the ocean lures the damned with gifts that cannot be resisted. Aerialists twirl and dance overhead and live accompaniment by a trio of musicians transform Arcadia, a 3,700 square foot warehouse space, into an enchanted grotto. A chosen few guests will find themselves entangled in the evening’s festivities, lured into the mire and transformed into unsuspecting participants in the epic tales unfolding before them. Feeling shy? Not to worry – the participatory elements are not compulsory. Only 50 guests per evening will witness the otherworldly spectacle of “Devil in the Deep Blue Sea.” Advance ticket purchase is essential – this show sells out every year.

The fine print – Due to mature subject matter, guests under 16 years of age will not be admitted to this production. Portions of “Devil in the Deep Blue Sea” entail standing for short periods of time and walking slowly in low light conditions. Audiences are encouraged to wear flat shoes and leave large bags, backpacks, and purses at home as they can create a trip hazard.

Tickets are available at the following levels:
$35 General Admission
$60 VIP Admission – includes reserved seating and a special token of the evening to take with you
